| Air conditioning service station -VAS 6007A- (and further
service stations currently available) |
| The procedures for testing, extracting (recycling),
evacuating and charging should be carried out in accordance with
the respective user's manual. |
| The installed filter and dryer must be renewed at the latest
at the end of the period of use specified in the operating
instructions and every time that the station is emptied (keep
replacement filter on hand. they can be ordered from the
manufacturer of the device, see user's manual. |
| Air conditioner service stations or purging devices approved
by VW but not shown here may also be used. |
 Note
| This air conditioner service station incorporates the
following common individual devices: charging cylinder, manifold
gauge, vacuum pump, shut-off valves and charging hoses. |
| This air conditioner service station includes one of each
type of quick-release coupling (for high-pressure and
low-pressure side service connections). |
|
|
|
| Purging device for refrigerant circuits -VAS 6337/1- from
“Behr” or later model. |
Note
| With filter -1- and two large
cylindrical sight glasses |
| The filter in the purging device for refrigerant circuits
should be changed after about 2 purging cycles (depending on the
level of contamination from the purged refrigerant circuits). If
a heavily contaminated refrigerant circuit is purged (the
refrigerant oil from the refrigerant circuit is black and
viscous or there are large amounts of shavings in the
refrigerant circuit) renew filter after purging refrigerant
circuit. |
|
|
|
| Purging device for refrigerant circuits -VAS 6336/1- from
“Waeco” or later model. |
Note
| With filter -1- and one sight
glass |
| The filter in the purging device for refrigerant circuits
should be changed after about 2 purging cycles (depending on the
level of contamination from the purged refrigerant circuits). If
a heavily contaminated refrigerant circuit is purged (the
refrigerant oil from the refrigerant circuit is black and
viscous or there are large amounts of shavings in the
refrigerant circuit) renew filter after purging refrigerant
circuit. |
